The Study of the Heavens.

There was never q time when the
heavens were studied by so many anna
teur astronomers as at present. In
every civilized country many excellent
telescopes are owned and used, often to
very good purpose, by persons who are
not practical astronomers, but who
wish to see for themselves the marvels
of the sky, and who occasionally Stun
bic upon something that is new even to
professional star-gazers. Yet, notwith-
standing this activity in the cultivation
of astronomical studies, it is probably
safe to assert that hardly one person in
a hundred knows the chief stars by
name, or can even recognize the princi-
pal consultations, much less distin-
guish the planets from the fixed stars.
And, of course, they know nothing Of
the intellectual pleasure that accompa-
MES knowledge OF the stars. Modern
astronomy is so rapidly and wonder

more. Perhaps one reason why the ay-
erage educated man or woman knows
so little of the starry heavens is because
it is popularity supposed that only the

English Aristocratic Estates.

1t is impossible to find anywhere out
OF England more extensive and superb
proprieties de latce, by which is meant
estates of noble and gentle men, of
which large area is unproductive and
unremunerative in an agricultural point
OF view. In mere matter of acres, Rus
STA, Germany, Bohemia, and Hungary
can show far wider lands belonging to
the same owner, but more considera-
bile proportion is given up to self-culti-
walton and return. The land pays for
itself and feeds it's tillers. Here in this
rich, prosperous, admirably-kept, gar
den-like England, park joins park,
woods and forests are given up to game.
boundless moors are preserved for the
sportsman, ornamental grounds sur
round the noble mansions for many
acres. The jewellers in the cottages,
the villages, the outlying districts, nay,
the inhabitants Of the small adjacent
towns depend, directly or Indirectly,
GU the fact of the mansion being occu-
pied. When the house is crowded with
visitors, when stables and kennels have
their full complement, when forcing
houses, Conservatives, and wineries are
rich in fruit and heaped with exotics,
when the lawns have their velvet
smoothness, then the little nation of
gardeners, keepers, helpers groomsY
laundry, and dairy maids, and all the
old hangers-on of large establishment,
reap the little benefits which compose
the only comforts that fall to their lot.
The closed castle or hall means to them

perhaps finally emigration or the work.

For Wheeling His Own Baby.

May clergyman wheel his own
baby in q perambulator? One would
suppose so, but not so think the people
of Edinburgh. There clergyman was
seen carrying his baby. His Mortified
congregation presented him with a
perambulator, but his last state was
worse than his first, for he wheeled
this vehicle along the streets with his
baby in it. This insult to the "genteel"
susceptibilities of his congregation was
too much, and he received letter
politely informing him that, while his
abilities gave satisfaction, his pastoral
services would no longer be required.
